FC Schalke 04 is facing an important decision: Should Edin Dzeko extend his contract? The future of the 40-year-old is uncertain.

What do the legends say?

Klaus Fischer and Klaus 'Tanne' Fichtel warn against an extension without adjusting the playing style. Fischer said in the 'WAZ' talk '19:04 – Inside Schalke': 'Dzeko knows where the goal is and is a good footballer.'

Why is this important?

But: 'Of course, it will be difficult if we want to play counter-attacks, because he's not the fastest anymore.' | Date | Event | | --- | --- | | 2026-05-17 | FC Schalke 04 1-0 Eintracht Braunschweig |
